Our Wedding

Marc and I met in Spring 2017 in an English class at SFASU. After a summer of many long phone calls, we began dating on August 30, 2017. We both graduated from SFASU in December 2019 and began long-distance dating between Waco and Houston. I moved to Houston in 2021 and Marc proposed on February 10, 2023 in the house that we were under contract on. We closed on the house on February 24, 2023 and set our wedding date for exactly one year later.
